Netflix Explains Why It Didn't Pick Up Marvel's "Agent Carter"

While many fans hoped Netflix could revive "Agent Carter," the streaming service never pulled through for the project. The reason? Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos says it was because the show didn't offer a "truly original" brand.

Plus, Sarandos says there are "complexities" with "Agent Carter's" international distribution, which would make it difficult for Netflix to carry the series in certain regions.

Some of those output partners still had it on the air, so they would argue its covered by their output [deals]. Unfortunately, it was a business decision more than a creative one."
